Tala wishes that she could dance the traditional Samoan dance the taualuga, where her hands curl like rolling waves and her feet glide across the floor like canoes. Yet when Tala tries to siva, her legs are too wobbly, her arms are too stiff, and most of all, she doesn't have the same glow as when Aunty dances. Tala tries to muster the courage to perform at her Grandma's birthday--but she freezes on stage. Will she find the strength and inspiration to help her dance?
